      Managing the Dental Team generally discusses certain federal and state laws, but does not and cannot address every federal and state law that could affect a dental practice. Each dental practice must be aware of and comply with applicable state and federal laws. Managing the Dental Team refers to federal and state statutes and regulations, including regulations adopted by agencies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), among others. However, the materials that follow have not been approved by HHS, the FTC, or any other federal or state agency. Dental practices vary widely, and each should address legal issues and develop and implement various compliance programs appropriate to its circumstances and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

      We have made every effort to make these materials useful and informative. As a consumer of the information, however, you must understand that the law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it sometimes changes more rapidly than these materials. For that reason, we make no representations or warranties of any kind about the completeness, accuracy, or any other quality of these materials or any updates, and expressly disclaim all warranties, including without limitation all implied warranties (including any warranty as to merchantability and fitness for a particular use).
